then i try to connect to it from the game and i click the "add server to favorites" button and it says "server not responding" ive forwarded the ports 27000-27020 and it still dosn't work i need some help here and yes, ive routed the ports through my firewall, please help.
ive also set the sv_cheats to 1 so i dont get that either. the fps seems to boost up to 249.1-250 after about 2 minutes of it finishing up the start of the server( i mean when it says VAC secure mode is activated)

Are you using your local IP to connect? You can't connect to the server locally with your external IP.

yes i am useing my local ip to connect. how do i change this?, do i need to change this? is it in console or somthing because i dont know what/where the console is.

[Beaverbeliever]

Open console in the game, and type connect yourlocaliphere and see if that works.

how do i open console? i tried the automaticaly assained button and it dosn't do anything, are you talking aboutopening it through the server, running in its own dos like environment? because i typed it in the server place and it wouldn't recognise the command

Go to options, keyboard, advanced, enable developer's console

i enabled it but when i press the key to make it start or whatever (') it dosn't do anything, what am i doing wrong?

i put in yourlocaliphere and it also wouldn't recognise it
i went into to create a server and the two servers it was running wern't on the same #,( the long numbers(72.165.61.136:27013 usually) were different and they seem to change everytime i start the server).

ive found the problem, i was doing it wrong i understand, but now when i try to enter it it says "connection failed after 4 retries"

Read the link in my comment about Running a server on the same computer you play on.

With your bandwidth, you wont be able to hold many slots anyways.

[loopyman]

If you only have one network connection to your computer remove the -ip command from your startup, and then find the server in your land tab and join that.

[shin chan]

i got it to work thanks to loopyman and spartanfrog,it seems i was doing it wrong and i had +ip in the start command, but how do i activate the in-game gui for admins?
i am using the sourcemod addition for tf2, other in game commands would be appreciated.

also other players cant connect to me, why?

Cause you are connected to your local IP. Give out your IP at http://www.whatsmyip.org to your friends to connect.

You're running out of bandwidth, you don't have enough bandwidth to run a local game server. If you want a game server you're going to have to rent a game server from a provider, rent a dedicated server, or upgrade your internet connection.
